My name is Derek, I am so glad you found me! With 28 years of experience behind the lens, I’ve developed a style that’s equal parts intentional and relaxed. Whether I’m photographing a family, a couple in love, or a milestone moment, my goal is always the same: to capture real emotion in beautiful, timeless ways. My work has been described as a mix between posed and candid. During our session, we’ll laugh, we’ll have fun, we’ll capture what makes you or your family’s story one of a kind. You will see that I love creating amazing work for my clients.
Whether it’s a senior marking a big milestone, a model building something bold, or a family just wanting to bottle up the beauty of this season—you’re in the right place. I don’t believe in stiff poses or cookie-cutter sessions. I believe in movement, laughter, real moments, and images that feel like you. If your kids are wild and wonderful? Perfect. These are the frames you’ll love most—the ones that breathe with life. With your vision as our guide, we’ll dream up the perfect session. You bring your story. Together, we’ll make something honest, beautiful, and totally unique.
Let’s create something that lasts—something that feels like a memory already.
"WHEN THE UNEXPECTED HAPPENS, SOMEONE HAS TO BE THERE TO CAPTURE IT BEFORE IT'S GONE."
